ORLANDO, Fla. — Like most head coaches with young kids, Mike McCarthy turned this week’s NFL meetings into a working vacation. Once Dad was finished with the matters of football, he met wife Jessica and daughters Gabrielle and Isabella at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom park.
The next morning, McCarthy couldn’t stop talking about Avatar: Flight of Passage, one of Disney’s newest and most popular attractions.
“You guys like amusement parks? They have this new ride called ‘Avatar’ at Animal Kingdom,” the Green Bay Packers coach gushed as he sat down for the annual NFL coaches breakfast.
